Growing and Maintenance Tips

Columbine grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Plants perform well in cooler climates and benefit from some afternoon shade in warmer regions. Removing spent flowers can encourage additional blooming and reduce self-seeding. This hardy perennial is easy to grow and adds soft texture and early-season interest to mixed perennial plantings.
